Monopoly Here And Now
Agreed. If you've been confident enough with the 'Wild Thing' to warrant playing the machine prior to knowing about the wedge then you're just not gonna feel any kind of risk by hitting it manually.Mr McStreak wrote:But like Tray says he learnt to hit it early on, presumably when ziggy came out and he realised the potential. I find it no risk whatsoever to hit the skill as opposed to wedging.
Nobody can ever be absolutely 100% at any skill, but if I ever felt a skill feature that I could be using to maximise my profits was too difficult for me then it goes without saying that I'd practise it until I was able to nail it the majority of the time. I realise that in the grand scheme of life it's hardly important to be able to stop a spinning wheel or sequence of light bulbs in a certain place but if you're serious about making money on fruit machines then these are very valuable abilities to have. People who feel that GUACs are too hard for them to master would lose out on thousands with something like On The Buses for example.
Because you might feel that there's a small chance that in aiming for a slightly different place than that which you're used to *might* cause you to miss the first time you attempt it. As you feel you're not gonna miss anyway then why bother complicating things. If it ain't broke......MoterWayServiceMan wrote:If you can hit it evry time how could you miss the wedge?
Also I seem to remember being told that on some of the earlier clones the wedges are different and that some also have different places to wedge dependent on the chip (e.g. Rovers). If true, I'm sure these aren't hard to memorise but learning all that's gonna seem a bit pointless to a person that can already hit 'em anyway.
Fair enough, but i still think you are wrong :P Wedge is 100% guaranteed pot, manual isn't. Even as class as anyone may be, there will be a time when you miss it for one reason or another, i just don't see the point. Some rovers/panthers will move from the midde to the top at £6, which means they don't wedge the usual way and need the fiver job doing.

matt i respect you and im not saying wedge is wrong for you
but y would fruitypro , mcstreak , others and myself , enter any form of risk into our method when we're hitting 199 out of 200 ?
we simply had this early before any of us knew you could wedge em anyhow , to us its simply no risk to stay in our comfort zones
we're realy not being big headed when we say there is no risk
honestly this has got to be one of the easyist skils of all time .
there have been plenty harder skils to do in the past
these just become second nature , an extension of your arm , if you like ,
its virtualy imposs to miss , and on that uber rare occasion we do ,
( and im sure i speak for others here ) were fucking annoyed with ourselves lol
so to recap matt m8 , were not saying wedge is wrong
just wrong for our comfort zones to tamper with . y would we?????

lol time I saw him do it, he hit outside every time. Personally never missed GUAC or monopoly here and now, so dont bother with wedge, although I have missed it a few times on rovers and once on panther.redgamer wrote:benji couldent miss it wenever i saw him at claket lane i would get exited wen he got roys rolls stand there while he hit it no wedge and wouldent hit it no were apart from middle

i never missed a panther or rovers but have missed a cluedo and i've got an excuse for it too. An old bloke of about 140 grabbed hold of the table next to the fruit to stop himself falling over and got stuck as in he couldn't move otherwise he was going over. though i shouldn't have, i just couldn't stop laughing so much i missed. This was in canterbury spoons around january. I've never seen Benji miss one of these clones but Jord did miss one in Cheltenham and promptly blamed someone over the other side of the pub for eating crisps! I know he never missed a Do You Feel Lucky or a Red arrows. Like Tray, I like to hit things manually like years ago on the cardcash and blacklacks where you had to hit 3 reel skills just for a £4.80 token pot. Can't see Fruitypro ever missing one of these.

He does tend to come out with some good ones. Met him on a stopper once in Brighton and he says: "Right, watch this, no-one here, but as soon as I press take feature, I guarantee you I'll get a brass band coming through the door or a clown doing the can-can" he gets a score and then moans about a noise from the kitchen. "What next" he groans. "Fucking morris dancer on a po-go stick!" great working with him though, good money and a good laugh.
